Located 9 miles from the centre of historic Winchester and within walking distance of English Heritage monument The Grange, Northington sits to the south west of the scenic Candover Valley with access to a network of footpaths, bridleways and ancient drovers paths. As well as a monthly church service, the fine acoustics of St John’s, the largest of the nine churches in the Benefice, showcases a number of well-attended community choral and instrumental concerts. Comfortably seating up to 220, it is also popular for weddings, baptisms, funerals and thanksgivings. The organ was made specifically for St John’s in 1890 by Charles Martin of Oxford and is currently undergoing an extensive restoration with funds provided by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Hampshire and the Island Historic Churches Trust plus a range of other generous donors.
